All public sector employees have a duty to provide information (notifications of concern) to the child welfare service when they, in the course of their work, have cause to believe that a child is subjected to abuse or other serious form of neglect. IR-05 describes in more detail when UNE has a duty to provide information about children’s care situations to the municipal child welfare service. It also describes the relationship between the duty to provide information and the duty of confidentiality, and procedures for disclosing information to the child welfare service.

IR-05: Duty to provide information to the child welfare service
The internal guidelines (IR) are the overriding governing documents that are intended to ensure high quality and efficient case processing. They set out the key aspects of UNE’s legal obligations and its case processing procedures. UNE’s director general approves all internal guidelines. The internal guidelines are only available in Norwegian.
